Sponsorship: The Office of Career Services and Employer Relations welcomes parent sponsorships of programs and events. A big goal is to find support to build a new facility or renovate an existing facility to present a more professional image than is offered by the current unique facility on the second floor of Roosevelt Hall. We are looking to enhance our visibility to your students and to employers with a new modern facility!

You are always welcome to contact us and we welcome your suggestions!
